Psychotherapist with 25+ years’ experience, supporting adults with trauma, relationship difficulties, and deeper existential or spiritual challenges, alongside burnout or life transitions.
Book a sessionI’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and ACAT-accredited Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapist with over 25 years’ experience working with adults. I work with relationship difficulties, trauma, and the deeper existential or spiritual questions that can arise in life, as well as work-related stress, burnout, and life transitions. My work in mental health began in the late 1990s when I trained and qualified as a mental health nurse, followed by psychotherapy training within the NHS, where I worked for many years. My core training is in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), which informs a relational understanding of patterns in relationships and behaviour. Alongside my professional training, my understanding of addiction is informed by long-standing involvement in 12-step recovery communities. For some, therapy also offers space to explore questions of meaning, purpose, or spirituality. While I draw personally from the Catholic tradition, my approach is respectful and inclusive of each person’s beliefs and values. I work integratively, drawing on CAT and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, alongside energy psychology approaches including EFT, Ask and Receive, and Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Qualifications and accreditations include: * UKCP and ACAT accredited Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapist and Supervisor * ACEP-trained EFT Practitioner * Trained in TFT - Algorithm and Diagnostic levels * Qualified EMDR Therapist * Sensorimotor Psychotherapy - SP for Trauma * Diploma (Distinction) in Mental Health Nursing
